Women in IP in the ITC: Strategies and Special Considerations When Litigating at the International Trade Commission

In 2021, 82 cases were filed in the ITC, the highest number in recent history. This popularity is due, no doubt, to the quick path the agency provides to preventing the continued importation of infringing goods or the sale of infringing domestic inventories. But while the ITC is often the preferred venue for challenging companies located outside the United States, competitor cases are filed there as well, raising important considerations for companies that find themselves acting as complainants or respondents. And although some of the IP issues are the same in all venues, litigating IP infringement issues in the ITC involves several hurdles not found when litigating in state or federal court.

Please join the panel of Jones Day's Women in IP Speaker Series for a webinar that will discuss litigation at the ITC, with emphasis on the following topics:

• Strategic considerations for both complainants and respondents;
• Unique requirements associated with domestic industries, discovery timing, and the different remedies available;
• How different judges conduct their hearings; and
• Special considerations for certain industries.

We hope you will be able to participate in this informative discussion.
